Which option is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance?
phase
temperature
thermal energy
heat
temperature
Heat flows from hot to cold and is the transfer of thermal energy.
the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance
A blacksmith strikes a piece of metal with a hammer repeatedly. The metal slowly begins to glow as the temperature increases, and the metal becomes more malleable. Which changes on a microscopic level led to the visible changes in the properties of the metal?
